If we wanta place in this world; we
must earn it. The partridge makes its
own nest before it occupies it. The lat-k,
by its morning song, earns its breakfast

Society is to be reconstructed on the sub
ject of woman's toil. A vast majority oi
those who would have woman industrious
shut her up to a few kinds of Work. My
judgment in this matter is that a woman
has a right to do anything she can do
well. There should be no department of
merchandlsc, mechanism. art or science
barred against her. If Miss llostucr has

. Twenty-four Cents a Day. .. . .
One Sabbath hight, in the vestibule of
my church, after service, a woman fell in
convulsions. The doctor said she needed
medicine not so much as something to
cat.‘ As she began‘to revive, in herdelic
rium she said gnsplngly: "Eight cents!
Eight cents! Eight cunts! I wish I could
get it done! I am so tired! I wish Icould
get some sleep, but I must get. it done.”
We found afterward that she was making
garments at ti cents apiece, and that she
could make but three of thctnlnaday.
Hearltl Three tiIIIeIIcight are twenty- f-ouri
Hear it, men and women who have com-

Some of the worst villains of thoclty
are the employers of these women. They
beat them down to the llL'it penny and try
to cheat them out of that. The woman
must deposit. a dollar or two before she
gets the garments to work on. When the
work is done, it. is sharply inspectcd, the
most insignificant flaws pickId out, and
the wages refused, and sopIctit’ucs tlIc dol-
